I'm beating the jannies to the punch for that sweet, sweet dramacoin
I'm reading This Kind of War a history of the Korean War recommended by Mattis. It's an older book so has some very dated terminology, and an older way of thinking. But pretty solid so far, very play by play.
I've been on a huge non-fiction kick recently reading Rampage (about Japan in the Philippines.) A book about the fall of Japan whose name I don't remember
and before that The Franco Prussian War by Wawro. I've liked all of them with Rampage being the hardest to read due to crazy Japanese crimes. I think the last fiction book I read was Medicus a Roman murder mystery that was really enjoyable.
Dramatards what y'all reading?

Oathbringer
I zipped through the first two books pretty fast but kinda hit a wall on this one. I'll probably take a break from the series for a while once I finish it.
The Ministry for the Future
I like KSR but I dunno this one isn't really doing it for me. I'll finish it but it's kind of eh.

I’ve been looking to get into more fantasy books, and part of why I wanted this hole was to get some suggestions. Problem is so much of the genre is crap. Just crap.
Reddit circlejerk aside is Sanderson stuff actually good?

The Stormlight Archive series is good overall, it's a bit wordy but I enjoy it. I've read some of his other stuff and I didn't think it was amazing.
Joe Abercrombie is probably my favorite currently active fantasy author. The First Law trilogy is phenomenal and even apart from that I've never read a book from him that I didn't love.

If you want too read trash that everypony else imitates, go ahead. But if you want too read something truly original and innovative, check out my work.

I would love to support a Black woman fantasy author! Where can I find your books?

You can't find my books because you're not looking hard enough. Try looking in the children's section of you're local bookstore.

Once someone pointed out that he's Mormon and doesn't write any romance then I lost all interest immediately and stopped. I know it's a weird reason but I was already finding the books slow and that was the tipping point.

Oathbringer is the one that actually has romance tho.
Personally I hope kaladin finds a worthy babe. So far I’ve been disappointed in the offerings.

I've been stuck on Oathbringer (8%) for years. Do not care about Dalinar, and making me resent his gimmick of POV backstory characters every novel.

Either Oathbringer or Words of Radiance is where I hit the wall with that series, and Sanderson as an author. It was weird as normally I am a contrarian and don't like things because redditors like them, but his work just started to grate on me and I can't stand it anymore.
